What fertilizer is the best and most vigorous way to grow sweet-scented osmanthus (Key points for fertilizing ground-planted sweet-scented osmanthus trees)

Fertilizers that Osmanthus likes

There are many types of fertilizers that osmanthus likes, including livestock manure, human feces and urine fertilizer, cake fertilizer and miscellaneous fertilizers that are suitable for its growth.

Among them, livestock manure and human feces and urine fertilizers are used more frequently. Next, I will introduce to you the selection and application methods of fertilizers for osmanthus.

1. Human feces and urine fertilizer

One of the fertilizers that osmanthus likes is human feces and urine, which can be used as base fertilizer, but it needs to be sterilized before use.

2. Livestock manure

Fully decomposed chicken and duck manure and pig manure are fertilizers frequently used for osmanthus. Livestock manure is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. When the soil lacks nutrients, an appropriate amount of livestock manure can be used to meet its growth needs.

3. Cake fertilizer

Cake fertilizer is a kind of fertilizer suitable for the growth of osmanthus flowers. It is the residue left after the seeds are squeezed for oil at home, mainly the residue of soybean cake and peanut cake. Cake fertilizer contains rich nitrogen and is an organic fertilizer with sufficient nutrients.

4. Miscellaneous fertilizers

Fertilizers rich in trace elements are miscellaneous fertilizers, which are also one of the fertilizers that osmanthus likes. Fish bones, chicken bones, etc. left at home are miscellaneous fertilizers. After being soaked in water, fermented and decomposed, they are disinfected and sterilized, and can be used directly.

Fertilization method for osmanthus tree

1. Early stage of planting

Do not rush to fertilize a newly planted osmanthus tree to avoid premature contact between the fertilizer and the roots of the tree, which may cause root rot and affect root growth, thereby reducing the survival rate and causing its death.

2. Small and medium seedling stage

When the osmanthus tree grows to the small or medium seedling stage, it is necessary to use diluted phosphorus fertilizer or potassium fertilizer once a month.

3. Medium and large seedling stage

When the osmanthus tree grows to the medium to large seedling stage, it needs to use miscellaneous fertilizers. Of course, decomposed livestock manure can also be used. It is sufficient to use diluted fertilizer once a month.
